A crowd of friends and family gathered at noon today at Wasena Park to plant a plum tree in memory of former Clean Valley Council director Ann Masters. Ann, who died at Christmastime this past year, was remembered as a staunch environmentalist who helped pull Roanoke into the movement. The tree was planted at the entrance to the park, one of Ann's favorites.
